When I load the scenario the vessel doesn't appear... Something to do with this?

 

[Napalm42]

I've been waiting for one of these fer quite some time. Here's my two cents without using the official review system:

Pros:
-Great model
-Nice crew capacity for retrieval of large crews
-Decent flight model

Cons:
-Cargo capacity (though it makes sense, so I'm not too bothered)
-Bank seems extremely slow sans joystick
-Left/Right Bank Causes door polygons to shift instead of stick.
-Hard to hover in place while recovering MMUs
-Lack of sound makes for low immersion.

All in all though, for a first release I am very pleased with the work you've done. I'll probably make a personal retexture for myself a little later on

 

[gattispilot]

Thanks. I fixed the animation and HUD. Not sure about the rest. Source code is included.

 

[Urwumpe]

any problem if I give it a more helicopter like flight model? The current one is still extremely sluggish, making a SAR turn is pretty hard and far from the agile maneuver that it is, landing on a landing pad is hard as well*, when you need minutes to reduce cyclic and bank angle.

I can make a tiny improvement there and mail you the source code since you are maintainer, if you like.

The rotor blades should also disappear at higher rotation speeds, it looks unnatural that way.

* Needed a second stall turn to get slower and towards the landing pad. Still missed the pad by about 10 meters.

 

[gattispilot]

No problem at all. That would be great. I'll apply it to the Bell 222,.... I need to change the sound setting off thrust also.

 

[Urwumpe]

Of course, I will make it modular and easily included in other add-ons. I know my customers. :lol:

 

[palebluevoice]

So its finally finished...impressive!!! I'll download after my math exams...

 

[gattispilot]

I would wait till I make changes, sound,...

 

[Mythos]

Ah you finally made it to orbithangar :thumbup:

I like the rotor functions now, although the disc design could start somewhat later, like Urwumpe said before. The altitude is limited but you can get as much vertical speed near ground to overshoot that limit alot. Later you fall down and just can catch it almost at ground level. Also possible to gain much forward speed up to reentry flames and all that.

It's fun to play with all the doors and winch

 

[N_Molson]

Looks pretty cool, and certainly a must-have for manned capsules crew retrieval, at sea or on the ground. But a credible flight model is important IMHO. You could try to define the disc area covered by the "blades" as a square wing, while keeping the numbers. :2cents:

 

[gattispilot]

Thanks. I know Urwumpe is helping on the flight model.

On the Sound.

Hope someone can help on the sound. got the rotor but can't hear the gear noise.

Have you tried the "ALWAYS" tag (or the equivalent, I don't remember the doc exactly) ?

Also notice the weird space (when I copy-pasted your sample) I can't delete between the "O" and the "N", might be related ?

 

[gattispilot]

Thanks. I got the sound of the rotors fixed. Can't get the gear sound though.

On the always.

RequestLoadVesselWave3(NH90ID,	HH65Engines	,"Sound\\Vessel\\HH65\\HH65Engines.wav",ALWAYS);

if I do this I get this error:
.\NH90.CPP(142) : error C2065: 'ALWAYS' : undeclared identifier

"-NEVER : MP3 never play
-IN SPACE EXTERNAL ONLY : Mp3 will play if the pressure is 0 and in external view only (defaut mode)
-IN SPACE ALL VIEW : Mp3 play only if 0 pressure and in all view
-COCKPIT ONLY : Mp3 play only in the cockpit

Updated so now you get rotor sound. You need Payload Manager or you don't see the vessel

Hi, thank you for this addon its excellent. I don't want to trouble you but unfortunately i'm getting a crash to desktop. It occurs after loading the NH90 either from the scenario or in game after a few seconds. This hasn't happened before it just started occuring recently. Here is my log:

Just having a play with this now and it looks fabulous but moves very slowly.

Are there any tricks to getting it moving forward at a decent speed?
